Definitions
- This invention relates generally to compositions of matter suitable for use in aggressive, high-temperature gas turbine environments, and articles made therefrom.
- Nickel-based single crystal superalloys are used extensively throughout the aeroengine in turbine blade, nozzle, and shroud applications. Aeroengine designs for improved engine performance demand alloys with increasingly higher temperature capability, primarily irs the form of improved creep strength (creep resistance). Alloys with increased amounts of solid solution strengthening elements such as Ta, W, Re, and Mo, which also provide improved creep resistance, generally exhibit decreased phase stability, increased density, and lower environmental resistance. Recently, thermal-mechanical fatigue (TMF) resistance has been a limiting design criterion for turbine components. Temperature gradients create cyclic thermally induced strains that promote damage by a complex combination of creep, fatigue, and oxidation. Directionally solidified superalloys have not historically been developed for cyclic damage resistance. However, increased cyclic damage resistance is desired for improved engine efficiency.
- TMF thermal-mechanical fatigue
- Single crystal superalloys may be classified into four generations based on similarities in alloy compositions and high temperature mechanical properties. So-called first generation single crystal superalloys contain no rhenium. Second generation superalloys typically contain about three weight percent rhenium. Third generation superalloys are designed to increase the temperature capability and creep resistance by raising the refractory metal content and lowering the chromium level. Exemplary alloys have rhenium levels of about 5.5 weight percent and chromium levels in the 2-4 weight percent range. Fourth and fifth generation alloys include increased levels of rhenium and other refractory metals, such as ruthenium.
- Second generation alloys are not exceptionally strong, although they have relatively stable microstructures.
- Third and fourth generation alloys have improved strength due to the addition of high levels of refractory metals.
- these alloys include high levels of tungsten, rhenium, and ruthenium. These refractory metals have densities that are much higher than that of the nickel base, so their addition increases the overall alloy density.
- fourth generation alloys may be about 6% heavier than second generation alloys. The increased weight and cost of these alloys limit their use to only specialized applications.
- Third and fourth generation alloys are also limited by microstractural instabilities, which can impact long-term mechanica! properties.
- third generation superai!oys provide a 50°F (about 28 ° C) improvement in creep capability relative to second generation s peralloys.
- Fourth and fifth generation superalloys offer a further improvement in creep strength achieved by high levels of solid solution strengthening elements such as rhenium, tungsten, tantalum, molybdenum and the addition of ruthenium,
- Cyclic damage resistance is quantified by hold time or sustained-peak low cycle fatigue (SPLCF) testing, which is an important property requirement for single crystal turbine blade alloys.
- SPLCF sustained-peak low cycle fatigue
- the third and fourth generation single crystal superalloys have the disadvantages of high density, high cost due to the presence of rhenium and ruthenium, microstructural instability under coated condition (SRZ formation), and inadequate SPLCF lives.
- Fatigue resistant nickel-based single crystal superalloys for turbine blade applications thai provide lower density, low rhenium and ruthenium content, low cost, improved SPLCF resistance, and less SRZ formation comparai to known alloys as well as balanced creep and oxidation resistance are described in various exemplary embodiments.

- Reference alloys R3- R5 have higlier Re + Ru concentrations than alloys Al , A5, and A6, but exhibit lower SPLCF and rupture lives than alloys Al , A5, and A6.
- FIG. 5 is a block-flow diagram illustrating an approach for preparing an article according to the invention.
- An alloy having the composition set forth above is prepared, as shown at reference numeral 20.
- the alloy is melted and solidified as substantially a single crystal, as shown at reference numeral 22.
- Techniques for solidifying single crystal articles are well-known in the art. Generally, they involve solidifying the alloy in a mold unidirectionalSy from one end of the article, with a seed or growth constriction defining the single crystal orientation that is desired in the article.
- the article is prepared with a [001] crystallographic direction parallel to a long axis of the article in the case of the turbine blade or turbine vane.
- Post processing may include, but is not limited to heat treating the article to optimize the mechanical properties of the alloy and/or machining the article.
